Is 4chan an example of a neural network training itself on random things it comes up with combined with current events and current media? :4chan:

By extension the same can be said about the internet as a whole to a degree. Arguably we've split into two distinct entities or at least we're in the process of it and that's manifesting in humanity's politics.

Was it communications technology advancements that lead to current year problems? I mean without it there's no way these extremist left ideas could have taken hold so quickly and strongly.

The speed of communication is the 2nd reason why 'extremist' ideology rose at such a speed.

The 1st reason is because they were correct.

But there's something more human about it -- instead of top-down hyperparameter adjustment to force an output for a given input, its output is always voluntarily provided and lacks any form of attention like the generative models we all love right now.

I like to think of it as an upgrade to the oral tradition that has served humans for 30,000 years. A node can only benefit from the network by putting in the effort to align with how the network presents and receives information, which is not the case for neural networks, and at any given point a node can spin off an entirely new network should that node not like the output of the imageboard.

We've always argued, we've always shitposted, we've always admired feet and we've always spammed /b/ with porn to slide the meaningful threads. It's so human that treating neural networks as on the same level is just a little insulting.
